| Abstract | The network mobility reservation (NEMOR) protocol was proposed to increase the scalability of QoS provision in moving networks. However, its scalability is undermined when sessions are bursty and short-lived. QoS aggregation ddreses this by holding requests for a time before sending a single aggregated reservation. This letter analyses a cost-optimal QoS aggregation policy under the case of bursty requests modelled by a two-state Markov-modulated Poisson process, and compares its expected cost efficiency and user waiting time with other previously proposed policies. |
